The Mausoleum has been visited by many world dignitaries. We later on continue to the unique casket-making shops where various designs of caskets are produced based on the African belief of life after death. Therefore, caskets are designed to reflect the earthly profession of the deceased with the belief that they can continue to practice this profession in the other world. Hence a bus driver will be buried in a bus, a teacher in a book, a doctor in a syringe etc. We drive past the Independence Arch and Black Star Square- Accra’s ceremonial grounds to visit the Arts and Crafts market. We might stop at the W.E.B. DuBois Centre for Pan Africanism and the Artists’ Alliance Gallery and may even be able to watch from distance the Christianborg Castle, former office and residence of the President of Ghana.
